This Microsoft TechNet Webcast is one of two parts that discuss Microsoft Project Server 2010 performance characteristics and farm architecture planning. This Webcast, Part 1, shows you how the testing lab was set up, how the tests were executed, and which test tools were used. The two Webcasts together share the results of Microsoft Project Server 2010 performance lab tests conducted on targeted reference hardware architecture in the Microsoft Technology Center (MTC) by Microsoft Consulting Services (MCS) in partnership with the Microsoft Product Group. The test results were used to identify performance bottlenecks and identify better design and implementation practices for Project Server 2010 infrastructures.
